EVE General Discussion

The sentry gun changes are pretty bad recommendations. Instead of more disruptive behavior, I was hoping for more generous behavior in promoting different types of setups on gates and discouraging some of the more obnoxious behavior that does arrive from perma camps.

The arrangement is basically an idea formed in an ivory tower. "We want Triage Carriers to die at 4.5minutes", Who the hell puts Triage carriers on low sec gates like that? They didn't before, and they sure as hell aren't gonna even consider it when you give them a "Prepare to die button" on it.

Escalating DPS on gates should be targeted at Supercaps and perhaps after the 15 minute mark of sitting on a gate for logistics chains it becomes "Pepare to Die" to discourage the non-stop perma-camping.

However, I prefer these landmarks of Piracy, scum and villainy retain their personality. These are the things that make EVE unique. Making Low Sec Less scary isn't gonna bring in the population. And even if it does, it just means they're gonna die even more absurd deaths when they think they are "Safe" when they aren't. What discourages people from low sec is Sec Status Loss and the inability to go back into empire space for having an aggressive attitude. Fix the Sec Status system so that it promotes low sec activities and the low sec options will open up.

sorry tara let me clarify for your freind : if you wanna do a comparison of irrelevant stats do it on either of the 2 main pvp toons i had up until the point where either left fla5hy red

wasnt meant to imply i still own the toon but my bad

tl;dr thread, but

Greyscale, Why fix something that isn't really broke? Haven't you got better things to do?

If someone wants to drop a carrier on a gate, GOOD. If you can't take it on, you have plenty of time to warp out when you see the cyno go up, but moreover, its exposed, it can't play station games and dock up when about to die and someone can come along and whelp it. even the noobs in the Uni

As for small ships, the balance is right as it is. If you want go GCC and tackle small stuff on gates, then you can bring a Recon, or a sebo'd cruiser and some logi. Other wise you can get around low-sec in your frigate as long as you ain't dumb. Solo-roamers who want fights just do it at belts and POCO's

With these changes, no one will drop a carrier on a gate, preventing opportunities for nice juicy carrier kills, and low-sec traffic will drop - most of it the crying pubbies you think you're trying to help - because the frigate dash will be too risky for them.

You pushed Incarna trying to make Eve fit your aspirations for WOD, and nearly lost both. Now you're trying to wowify eve to fit the profile of potential Dust-ers. Don't you ever learn?

You don't really know how this game works do you?


These changes will cut low-sec pve and increase your "high sec player wall" as it it make it more difficult for small stuff travelling through low sec - all them carebears in frigs shifting skill books and BP's for example.

Most gate camps stay out of Gate gun range at a close safe and warp in when their eyes spot a target landing on the other side of the gate. Now they can have an inty sitting on the gate that won't insta-die when it puts a tackle in. Its made it even easier for them.

Where else do you "Hunt" a hauler. While he is sightseeing at a belt? Even if your logic is correct, you've just moved the gate camp to a station camp.

Where you a successful pirate?

same guns.


I have other idea, let's concord pop in low sec ... police too ... and kill every things unders -5 ss.
up custom HP to 500M.

after uped mining ships HPs, up hauller HP, increase resists and guns able.

maybe all players skills for mining now =D, it's the best job in eve now.

CCP need to find new modules for new fit concept.

They actually thing about protect players ... if you want protection, stay in high sec systems, your mining ships have great amount of HP now.

I must agree, I am not in favour of this change at all. Depending on how this plays out I may unsubscribe my accounts too :(

I'm not going to stay subscribed to a game that keeps bouncing between really bad decisions, and making up for really bad decisions. Just putting that out there.

With the mining barge's ore bay sizes and EHP increases, with the gate gun mechanics being "fixed"... Eve is going down the NO NO path of every MMO before it that has failed. I realize this is all many of you have so you will defend CCP to the hilt, but I can assure you that attitude is only making matters worse.

The sooner we start getting CCPs dirty hands off our game, the sooner we will save it from oblivion. IF CCP want to segregate the carebears from the PvPers and completely demolish our "Sandbox" experience, they might as well just make two servers so I don't have to witness this sin everytime I D-Scan a system.

No low sec will be a friendly little howdy-doodie pass through instead of a scary place for all those greedy ratters and haulers on their way to pickup expensive goods. Oh joy! A sandbox with a gigantic safety net for all those cyber-industrialists... Making all that fake money!

Thanks for nothing CCP. You are just like all the rest. I guess no good thing can last forever.

Signed.

CCP needs to think long and hard before making this move, because quite a few players will move to null but the other half will just plainly quit, since pirating is what they have known for years
